    If I knew the answer to that, I could (and would) kick it. It’s as much a mystery as us as it is to you… I remember middle school dances: everyone would make a circle and someone would get in the center and break it down. The black girls always impressed me most, moving their bodies in ways I could never get mine to do. I went home and practiced. Not until I took a belly dance class for two years and learned how to move different stomach muscles did I learn how to do a body roll. If only I knew then what I know now…

    That is so sad that you feel that way. Sometimes I don’t want to be white because of all the b/s that white people have done over the years; none of which I’m personally guilty of. You have to love and accept yourself as you are. If you have mostly white friends, don’t you think they love you the way you are? I promise, they wouldn’t want your skin color to change. Have you ever thought of what a unique perspective on life you bring to them? Your race and culture affects your personality and probably makes you more interesting, fun and likable to them. I think the reason it’s ‘not okay’ to want to change your race is because other black people are offended by it – seems an insult to them, like you think there’s something wrong with being black. Be yourself, there’s NOTHING wrong with that.
